I’m going to bite the bullet and study conjunctions (1/4)

"to bite the bullet" -> It's a idiom, the idioms was created to express ideas in a different way (and to torture English learners 😁).

Wikipedia suggests that there are over 25,000 idiomatic expressions in the English language. So, after today you know a new one. 🚀

You can use "to bite the bullet" when you "decide to do something difficult or unpleasant that one has been putting off or hesitating over."

As far as I can tell that "I’m going to bite the bullet and study conjunctions" one more time.

I'm going to start with Clauses of contrast. You use contrast clauses when you want to make two statements, one of which contrasts with the other or makes it appear unexpected or surprising.

My yesterday class was about conjunctions, after that I read the explanation from test-english and I made a summary:

although, even though (aunque, aunque)	followed by a clause (subject + verb)	beginning	Although/Even though he doesn't know how to drive. He bought a car.
		in the middle	He bought a car, although/even though he doesn't know how to drive.
however (Sin embargo)	to connect two different sentences	beginning of the second sentence after a full stop (.) or a semi-colon (;)	She has 2 left feet. However, she loves dancing
		at the end of the sentence.	She has 2 left feet. She loves dancing, however
despite/in spite of (a pesar/a pesar de)	normally followed by a noun or a –ing verb	beginning	Despite/In spite of the bankrupt, they went to Paris.
		in the middle	They went to Paris despite/in spite of being bankrupt
despite/in spite of + the fact that. (a pesar/a pesar de + el hecho de que)	clause (subject + verb)	in the middle	They went to Paris despite/in spite of the fact that They was broke

 

Even though English isn't his native language, he can talk in English. However, sometime he feels than nobody understand him despite of repeating a couple of time. Nevertheless, he tries and tries in spite of he want to throw in the towel although it is the only way to achieve his goals.
